Birthday

They say it's my birthdayOne year farther away from youthOne year closer to death

I look in the mirror and seeMore gray hairMore wrinklesMore belly fatI mourn my lost youth.I pray I will not look like my motherThe older I get.

My life is more than half over nowWhat have I done? Who have I been?Is there time to do more, to be more?Can the rest of my lifeBe better than what came before?Do I still have a chance to follow my dreams?

I long for heaven Where I will be eternally youngWhere looks won't matterWhere age won't matterThere will be no more birthdaysJust time eternalAnd I will be free.
